This book collates writings from Petros Patounas in response to
Jacques Lacan's Seminar of the Psychoanalytic Act. Some of the
essays arise from presentations given in the seminar series, "Lacan
and the Psychoanalytic Act: A Question of Subjective Presumption"
during 2013/14 at the University of London Union, UK. Desire in
Lacan is desire for absolute difference and yet its conveyance is
an element Alien to the subject - that occurs by the letter and by
the act; whose components do not represent themselves for one
another as with the signifier. This is because the kinesis, let us
say in abbreviated form, the flux, of the question, 'What is
Psychoanalysis and What is its Ousia?' refers not to the 'Who or
the What is a Psychoanalyst?' but to how the subject can deal with
the megacosm of the Real, is neither a surprise nor an enigma - it
is a mystery.
This book is a gospel on the subject of the ethics of the
well-spoken, that is the speaking being of the ALPHAct. An
ori-entation for the analyst to a kinesis of flowing with the flux
of the letter, where the subject's mark within the signifier
instead of being counted in repetition of the same, it maps the
difference, a topology of life emanated by the vector of desire.
"On the Ascesis of Psychoanalysts" is an ascesis of swimming in
language, where the swimming subject finds their own way of
breathing, as if breath is something that needs to be taught, and
though it is not, the breath of desire is repressed, and then
through breathing language becomes lunguage. Petros' unique writing
leads the reader to an also unique reading experience. His text not
only praises the desiring subject of the ALPHAct, the
EPSILONrhogammaOMICRONnu, but with its vanishing grammar it becomes
an inscription of it, it be-comes an ethical compass to the desire
of the analyst. Angelos Tsialides Lacanian Psychoanalyst
Le titre ne fait pas reference a n'importe quel acte : Cet Acte est
un Acte litteral. La caracterisation semble paradoxale car le sens
litteral ne peut que concerner les figures de style dans le
discours, comme la metaphore et la metonymie. Comment se fait-il
qu'un acte puisse etre litteral ? Mais c'est paradoxal precisement
parce que nous avons limite la parole a la dimension du mot
articule par la voix. C'est a ce moment-la que Patounas innove, en
faisant coupe au discours et en revelant la place de l'Acte: L'Acte
est le moment ou la parole n'est adressee a personne d'autre qu'a
ce qui est Etranger au sujet, son Souffle. C'est un mouvement
(Kinesis) de pur desir, une ecriture, autrement dit, une parole
litterale. L'Acte est l'incarnation de la parole dans un discours
qui n'est pas du semblant. Patounas explique comment cette
incarnation de la parole donne a l'etre humain, en tant que sujet
de la parole, une nouvelle chair, un nouveau corps.
